DESCRIPTION:(from Travel Channel's press release, December 2015) Gear up for exhilarating new adventures with actor, wildlife enthusiast and curious traveler Dominic Monaghan ("Lost," "The Lord of the Rings") as he treks through the world's most extraordinary places in search of some of the weirdest, most majestic and dangerous animals out there. "Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan" debuts on Travel Channel beginning Wednesday, January 27 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT with brand-new episodes. This season, comprised of 13 hour-long episodes, features new expeditions that take Monaghan diving into the emerald waters of a South Pacific paradise to face a giant crab; scouring the Peruvian Amazon for a creature that's part fish and part stun gun; and hiking through Madagascar's rich ecosystem to uncover a mythical lemur. A lifelong animal lover and activist, Monaghan devotes his spare time to discovering all creatures large and small. Throughout his journeys to some of the most spectacular and remote landscapes known to man, he meets with experts who help him seek out the most exotic and rarest wildlife found only in that region. But his close encounters extend beyond nature's critters; along roads less traveled, he stumbles into locals who introduce him to traditions, rituals and foods unique to each area.
